In this article, the mathematical model of a machine with eight immovable magnets and two movable magnets, and the machine with four immovable magnets and two movable magnets are introduced for the electricity creation. The proposed machines are based on the machine with two immovable magnets and two movable magnets, but they have two main differences: they have more interactions between the immovable and movable magnets, and they create more electricity. Experiments are included to validate that the proposed mathematical models represent a prototype and to observe which machine creates more electricity.
In these days, the term free-energy is utilized in processes which can obtain energy from the environment, avoiding the necessity of a kind of fuel. Now, some of the most important free-energy processes can be classified in: machines, wind turbines, or solar generators. This article is focused on the machines. The machines of this article utilize the interactions between their immovable and movable magnets for the electricity creation.
There are interesting investigations in magnets processes. In [1–5], the magnet properties of materials are addressed. Magnet sensors are mentioned in [6–10]. In [11,12], magnet navigation is established. Magnet motors are developed in [13,14]. In [15–20], magnet machines are studied. The aforementioned research shows that the magnets processes are a novel topic.
The drawback in the machines is that they need the electricity as a fuel, or in the other case, the machines create electricity during some time until they stop. In this article, two mathematical models of machines are introduced in which the number of immovable magnets is increased with the purpose to increase the electricity creation. The proposed mathematical model is detailed by differential equations and it is based on the parallel axis theorem to obtain the inertia model, the Euler–Lagrange strategy to obtain the mechanic model, and the Kirchhoff voltage law to obtain the electric model. Experiments are included to validate that the proposed mathematical models represent the prototype and to observe which machine creates more electricity. This prototype is transformed to represent each of the proposed machines.
The other sections are described in the next sentence. Section 2 describes the Euler–Lagrange strategy to obtain the mathematical models of machines. Section 3, introduces the mathematical model of the machine with four immovable magnets and two movable magnets. Section 4, proposes the mathematical model of the machine with eight immovable magnets and two movable magnets. Section 5 shows the comparisons between the two machines. The conclusion and future work are explained in Section 6.
The Euler–Lagrange strategy to obtain the mathematical models of machines
The equation to be solved by the Euler–Lagrange strategy to obtain the mathematical models of machines is: where τ is the torque produced by the interaction of magnets, N1 is the is the Lagrangian produced by a movable magnet 1, N2 is the Lagrangian produced by a movable magnet 2, J1 is the kinetic energy produced by a movable magnet 1, J2 is the kinetic energy produced a the movable magnet 2, W1 is the potential energy produced by a movable magnet 1, W2 is the potential energy produced by a movable magnet 2, b is the damping coefficient of movable magnets.
The procedure to obtain all the mathematical models of machines is:
Energies J1, J2, W1, W2 will be gotten as: a) the interactions of all immovable magnets and the movable magnet 1 are used to obtain J1, W1, b) the interaction between all immovable magnets and the movable magnet 2 are used to obtain J2, W2.
Energies J1, W1 will be substituted in the second part of Eq. (1) to obtain N1.
Energies J2, W2 will be substituted in the third part of Eq. (1) to obtain N2.
Lagrangians N1, N2 will be substituted in first part of Eq. (1) to obtain τ.
Mathematical model of the machine with four immovable magnets and two movable magnets
The mathematical model of the machine of this section is based on the interaction of two movable magnets with four immovable magnets to obtain a mechanic motion, and the mechanic motion is converted to electricity via an electric generator. Figure 1 shows the full machine with four immovable magnets and two movable magnets. The operation of this mechanism is explained in the next sentence. Immovable is for all parts which do not present motion, and Movable is for all parts which present motion. The immovable platform is to hold the movable and immovable magnets, movable links, and movable arrow, while the immovable structure is to hold the immovable stator and movable arrow. Movable magnets have motion because they interact with immovable magnets. Movable link 1 and movable link 2 have rotations around their joint because in one side they are joined each other, and in the other side they are joined to the two movable magnets. The movable arrow is joined to the joint of movable link 1 and movable link 2; consequently, the rotation of the movable link 1 and movable link 2 yield the rotation of the movable arrow. The movable arrow is the first part of the electric generator, the second part of the electric generator is the immovable stator. The rotation of the movable arrow yields electricity inside of the immovable stator. Then, the operation of the explained mechanism starts with the magnetism produced by interaction between the two movable and four immovable magnets and it finishes with the electricity produced by the immovable stator.

Substituting (12) in (11) is: Substituting the equation (13) in the potential energy W1 of the equation (10) is: Taking a similar procedure, W2 is: Substituting the potential energy W1 of (14) and kinetic energy J1 of (8) into the Lagrangian N1 of (1) is: Substituting the potential energy W2 of (15) and kinetic energy J2 of (9) into the Lagrangian N2 of (1) is: Substituting N1 of (16) and N2 of (17) into (1) yields the torque of magnets τ as:
